Slow Cooker Kielbasa and Barbecue Beans

Every Sunday, without fail, Chris asks me to make crockpot chili. He loves being able to watch football and grab a bowl of chili and eat it whenever he likes. My boys are big on chili too. They like me to warm up flour tortillas, spread the insides with melted butter and then roll them up. They dip that into their chili. Try it – it’s pretty spectacular!

As much as I love chili, I get a little tired of making it. So last week, our Sunday chili turned into this Slow Cooker Kielbasa with Barbecue Beans. It has all the components of chili that they love, but with a lot more flavor.

I used three different beans, maple syrup, molasses, and a bunch of other ingredients that you likely have in your pantry for the base. In a moment of weakness, I opted to add in bacon, because, well…bacon.

My favorite part of this dish is the kielbasa. I love kielbasa and I like to keep it on hand for quick breakfast scrambles or easy dinners like this Kielbasa, Peppers, and Potato Hash or this Cheesy Kielbasa, Rice and Broccoli Skillet. I added two full ropes of kielbasa cut into chunks to the top of the rest of the ingredients and let me slow cooker do the work for me.

The kielbasa slowly cooks on top and the juices run down into the bean mixture below. Magical. When all is said and done, you’ve got something that looks like this:

And, a house that smells fantastic. Win-win. Watch how easy it is! (Many asked on Facebook where I got my slow cooker from…it’s a Disney Pixar Slow Cooker that you can find here.)

    Notes

    I recommend the low setting for this recipe because on high, the beans tend to get dried out. If you need to cook on high due to time constraints, monitor the beans and add more broth or water if necessary.
